and the H.G. pattern doesn't look very good. I tested it across CIEN, IBM, GE, AMZN, HAS and none of them performed well over 1000 day period.

I should point out that I didn't do the coding, I just had it laying around, so there might be some problems there.

Anyone else find especially good results with this pattern across several equities?

Yeah, not really surprised. The holy grail method isn't really an
objective method. That ADX can get tricky sometimes. But, I
think if you practice with it for a good while, and get familiar with
it's idiosyncrasies, it's a viable method.

It's kind of like trying to backtest stochastic divergences, it
would be very difficult, if not impossible. Since, no two divergences
look the same.
